I like the grille. I am puttting a 52 Buick in my 53. I would love to post some pics of the chop and the front end, but can't figure out how to post pics. Bud

Started on bed fab.Originally i was going to build a fleetside box but did not like the look.Bedsodes are 16 ga cold rolled and bent at a 45.Then 1.5" exhaust tubing was used for top rail.Frt panel was formed then used a shrinker to follow back of cab.
